the center pivot is connected to the frame. bag inflates, pushes the canti link, lifts the frame. when it pushes on the bag side, upwards, it pushes down on the axle, therefore lifting the frame.
edit: i hope there is some sort of pivot on the center. It's not at the top, cant see the middle/bottom.

your right...it does seem like it would, after looking at it more. Any more pic of it somewhere?

haha ya cuz that was the same thing i was thinking and i took the pic in ms paint and diagram it up, but the i realized that it wouldnt work. plus if was how it was to work out the lower link bar would hit one of the braces going up holding the batteries up.

I can't put the frame into the ground... The bag inflates... keep in mind that the axle and tires are the fixed point here... so the bag inflates, the distance between the frame and the canti bar gets bigger... wich make the canti bar go higher, notice there's a pivot point (so the frame and the canti bar are attached together, wich means the canti bar will raise). The canti bar raising "pushes" the axle down... which will make the frame to lift.
A rear view pic would help a lot to understand... it's pure geometry (reverse cantilever if you want)
Hope that clears things a bit
